World Song Festival is an online music contest for people who love music from all over the world. The contest features songs from all corners of the world and in all different languages. As a voter you get the chance to listen to the songs and judge them to choose a winning song for each year.
The World Song Festival started in 1997 and was originally created and organised from Finland. From 2001 it has been organised every year from Norway.
The festival introduces popular music from the different countries and territories, and the aim is to allow the listener to discover new music and singers from the vast music creation taking place around the globe.
The participating songs have to be original songs released in the year the contest is held or the previous year (with some exceptions two years older).
The singer/group has to be from the country or territory he/she/they represent and the song has to be in an official language of the country or territory.
Each year the final has 100 songs from 100 different countries/territories. Before the final round there are qualification rounds (preselections) where the songs are voted on to qualify for the big final.
Thanks to many music and language enthusiasts and good-hearted people around the world the information about the World Song Festival is now available in 325 languages! The document is in a PDF format below:
